Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the car crash that killed two aides of boxing champion Anthony Joshua, has been arraigned before a Sagamu Magistrate Court.
A statement issued on Friday by the Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi B. Babaseyi, indicated that Kayode, 46, was charged on Thursday, January 2, 2026, while the case was adjourned to January 20 for further proceedings.
“The Ogun State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the Anthony Joshua accident case, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode (male), aged 46, was charged at the Sagamu Magistrate Court today, 2nd January, 2026, and the case has been adjourned to 20th January, 2026,” the statement reads.
The arraignment followed investigations into the fatal crash that occurred on December 29, 2025 along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, near Sagamu, Ogun State.
The accident involved a Lexus SUV conveying Joshua and his team members, and a stationary truck. While Joshua sustained minor injuries and was later treated and discharged from the hospital, his team members were not that lucky. They died instantly.
